Reimer will be in goal for Tuesday's road clash with Chicago, Sara Civian of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer is perfect in three appearances this season in which he posted a 1.99 GAA. The 32-year-old netminder will see the bulk of the workload while Petr Mrazek (upper body) is out of action, though youngster Alex Nedeljkovic could be an option as well, especially in the upcoming back-to-back versus Columbus on Sunday and Monday.

Reimer turned aside 26 shots in regulation and overtime and two of three shootout attempts during Sunday's 4-3 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old is 3-0-0 to begin the season, posting a stellar 1.99 GAA and .918 save percentage in those outings. Petr Mrazek (upper body) left Saturday's game and the severity of his injury isn't yet clear, but Reimer appears ready for a larger workload if he needs to step into the No. 1 role.

Reimer will patrol the home crease in Sunday's game versus the Stars, Sara Civian of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer came in as relief for an injured Petr Mrazek (upper body) during Saturday's game against the Stars, and he stopped 10 of 11 shots, earning a win in the process. Mrazek won't be available Sunday, and he's set to undergo an MRI on Monday. There's a chance that Reimer will be the clear starter for a while. However, his focus, for now, is on the Stars, who are 4-1-0 and have averaged four goals per game this season.

Reimer stopped 10 of 11 shots after replacing Petr Mrazek (upper body) early in the first period of Saturday's 4-1 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Mrazek exited the game with an apparent wrist issue before the three-minute mark and Vincent Trochek opened the scoring at 4:05, making Reimer the winner in relief. Carolina should release more information on Mrazek's status once he's undergone further examination, but with a rematch Sunday against the Stars, the 'Canes may have little choice but to give Reimer the start even after he played nearly 60 minutes the day before.

Reimer made 31 saves Monday in a 4-2 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer was making his first start of the season after Petr Mrazek had gotten the nod in each of Carolina's first two games. Reimer enjoyed a solid season in 2019-20, going 14-6-2 with a 2.66 GAA and .914 save percentage in 25 outings. He will continue to share the workload with Mrazek as long as both are healthy.

Reimer is expected to make his season debut Monday in Nashville, Michael Smith of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer watched Petr Mrazek split a pair of decisions against the Red Wings and will not get his first action against the Predators. While Mrazek is expected to get most starts in Carolina's net, Reimer could push him for playing time if he gets off to a hot start or Mrazek falters early.

Reimer allowed four goals on 33 shots Monday in a 4-3 loss to Boston in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer had shut the Bruins down for the first 40-plus minutes before Boston exploded for four straight goals in a seven-minute stretch. It was a team-wide meltdown by the Hurricanes, who didn't register their first shot of the period until 1:27 remained. Despite the loss -- his first of these playoffs -- Reimer still owns a .934 save percentage in his three starts.

Reimer will patrol the blue paint for Monday's Game 4 showdown with the Bruins, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer has been outstanding in his two postseason starts so far, allowing just three goals on 73 shots in wins over the Rangers and Bruins. While Petr Mrazek has been strong as well -- .930 save percentage and 2.09 GAA this postseason -- Reimer has led the Hurricanes to their only win against Boston in this series.

Reimer stopped 33 of 35 shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over Boston in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
Reimer got the nod ahead of Game 1 starter Petr Mrazek and turned aside all 27 shots he faced at even strength. The 32-year-old, who also started the clinching win in Carolina's qualifying series, owns a sparkling .959 save percentage in his two postseason appearances and seems the likely starter for Game 3 on Saturday.

Reimer will patrol the blue paint for Thursday's Game 2 matchup against the Bruins, Michael Smith of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old started just one game for the Hurricanes in their opening round victory over the Rangers, stopping 37 of 38 shots en route to the victory. If Reimer can perform well again in Thursday's game, it could be anyone's crease for the remainder of the playoffs before someone gets the hot hand between he and Petr Mrazek.
